Catching Up

I'm so far behind on everything, especially quilty things. I was feeling kind of poorly this week, but it was my first week back at work and I fully expected that. It was good to stretch out yesterday and not be a slave to the alarm clock.

But .... I wasted the whole day!

On July 4th I appliqued one little bitty Dutch Treat block. It was only fitting since I started this quilt on 7/4/04. I have 111 blocks done, 85 more to go. I'd like to focus on this one a bit more and get almost all, if not all of the blocks done this year.

I have a couple of errands to run this morning as soon as the world wakes up, and then I plan on cutting out the Park Lane quilt by Bunnyhill Designs. Or I'll cut as much as I can of it. No, no, I'll get the whole thing cut out. I think I'll be able to sit for short stretches to get the top made. I'm behind schedule on my baby quilts!

(I need a new computer. I'll get that ordered up next week, too. I'm tired of fighting this one. I can't see but half of the Blogger dashboard, so I have no clue how this post is going to look!)

good to hear from you, thats a great project to work on this year, I know you can finish the blocksgo for it!!!!take it easy and make sure you let yourself heal completely don't over due it...hows Penny bet she was happy having you home for awhile...kathie

Very glad you are doing better! And a little handwork often ends the day so well. As Kathie said, don't over do it,sit and appliqué with Penny near by, watch a little HGTV or TNT and let our back get strong again.

Glad you are making progress on your Dutch Treat. Having made 3 of them I still want to make another but am not letting myself start another until I finish my hand hexie project and that may be awhile!Enjoy the journey

Ooooh,I love your Dutch Treat blocks. Now as for blogger, I had the same problem. You need to open up the blogger dashboard with Google Chrome. Just Google doesn't work for blogger anymore. That should take care of that problem. Glad you are feeling better.
